OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE - #1

“The names we use for rocks and other beings depends on our perspective, whether we are speaking from the inside or the outside of the circle. The name on our lips reveals the knowledge we have of each other, hence the sweet secret names we have for the ones we love…. Outside the circle, scientific names for mosses (or other natural beings, CT) may suffice, but within the circle, what do they call themselves?”
- Robin Wall Kimmerer, Gathering Moss, A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses
